Answer

The following are the effects of volcanoes:
  • Loss of life and property.
  • Sometimes tsunamis get generated due to volcanic eruptions occurring below ocean floors.
  • Dust, smoke, ash, gases, water vapour, etc. remain in the atmosphere for a long time.
  • This may create an imbalance in the environment.
  • Land may become fertile due to volcanic ash.
  • Many minerals are found near the earth’s surface because of lava.
  • New land is formed due to volcanic eruption or at times, an island may even disappear.
  • Lakes are formed at the mouth of the craters of dead volcanoes when rainwater accumulates in them.
